StrayS Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hello Everyone... My first post in this Forum and hope to get some light in this darkness I am in. Just put my money down on a 08 Vista Blue GT500 that I'll be getting soon. :happy feet: Now to make her look and behave better, so I am planning on sending her later on down to Shelby to get the Super Snake package installed. I am wondering if there are any CANADIAN Super Snakes out there or anyone has experience in how to bring the car back to Canada? Transport Canada doesn't like it when the suspension is changed, bumpers or seatbelts are changed. Is there anybody that has brought a 08 GT500 Super Snake back into Canada, or sent to Canada?

Transport Canada doesn't like it when the suspension is changed, bumpers or seatbelts are changed. Is there anybody that has brought a 08 GT500 Super Snake back into Canada, or sent to Canada? I spoke to someone at Customs, describing the SS package. After he stopped rolling his eyes because of the price, he said that there shouldn't be any problems. We'll owe GST on the parts and labour, but that's it. As for the parts you bring home, he suggested putting as much as possible in the car. A copy of the documentation should be with the rest of the parts as well when they're shipped. He said there's no real way to link a later, partial shipment with the stuff in your car, so full documentation with the rest is best (such a poet). He suggested the best plan was to bring it all back together, which you may be able to do if you trailer the car back. Nothing will be owed on the take-off parts, as you already own them. The wear-and-tear on them will help your case that they're not new, obviously. He doesn't expect any problems with the lowered suspension. I don't think seatbelts are affected with the SS package, neither are the bumpers. I explained that I would be bringing back a car that I had previously bought in the US, but because it's already been cleared and gone through the importation process, no problem. I will, however, bring all my documentation, just in case the door sticker isn't enough. Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrayS Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Nice to see some Canadian Super Snakes coming and that I am not alone in that boat. Well, I guess I get better back to that phone and get a Super Snake package ordered. :happy feet: Thanks to everyone in this thread for the warm welcome and the help provided. I expect to get the car in 4 weeks from the dealer and as far as I know, I have to go to the Shelby certified installer on the East Coast (I think it is Rhode Island). I hope to hear from those that get one over the boarder into Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axel Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 hi michael, vogon, strays,alexandros my csm # is 07SS0121 i thought it might be the easy way to just have the take off parts trucked back by a carrier. i sure would be curious to get an aproxmat idea wich month a guy could expect the conversion to take place. just so i can plan arround it. thanks axel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you pay your deposit? I suggest you phone and/or email Cynthia at SAI. She should be able to tell you what numbers have been called in to date. As they start scheduling, and people post the info, we should be able to figure out how fast they're going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrayS Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I called Cynthia and they are still not taking any deposits. I guess I should get my package in the mail in about 4 to 6 weeks with a different number to hold the spot. We get a CSM # later on when the payment is due. That's how I understood it. :D Anyhow... I went to Canada Customs today and checked out how that is supposed to work with modding a car in the states. B) He said, the only I need really to proove is: - The car to be Canadian (copies of bill of sale, registration and so on) - Detailed bill of sale from Shelby - Tax money owing to Canada For those that want the parts coming off back, put these in the trunk / trailer, no tax there. Apperantly the don't really care if the car modified "road legal" (lowering suspension) and passing inspection, as that is a provincial matter, not a federal one. SS... here I come! :shades: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertlane Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 How would the Government of Canada know if you converted a GT500 to a GT500SS when it comes across the border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogon Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 How would the Government of Canada know if you converted a GT500 to a GT500SS when it comes across the border? First, they might read this forum... But generally, they are trained to spot new items that aren't declared, including parts installed on your cars. If I were even going back and forth across the border with a SuperSnake, I'd keep the SAI documentation in the vehicle, as well as my Customs receipt for the GST. Those shiny wheels are going o attract attention. And you do not want them to start taking your car apart for any reason. They have a LOT of authority, and it won't end well...

Alexandros Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have heard that as long that we prove that the bill of sale is in Canada we do not have to pay the 7% US tax according to the North American Free Trade Agreement can somebody please verify that....cause we will pay the both taxes when we cross the border......
